	Description:		What if the Government offered to lift your wage by 20%? Because that's exactly what could happen for 100,000 childcare workers if Labor wins the election. The policy would cost half a billion dollars over eight years, and the Opposition is pitching it as gender pay issue, given that 96% of the childcare sector is made up of women. It's a long way from standard economic policy, and the Government has compared it to communism. So could it be a novel gender pay gap solution? Or is it a disaster in the making, with a host of unintended consequences? Featured: Nicki Hutley, Partner, Deloitte Access Economics
